Key West Boat Trips offers the perfect launch pad for your next Key West vacation. Leave the crowds behind and enjoy a day out on one of our tour boats or spend an evening kayaking the mangroves. Choose from snorkeling, swimming, sandbar hopping, or even a sunset dinner cruise! We’ll take you to exciting destinations like Mud Keys and Boca Grande – where you may see one of Florida’s most famous resident animals: dolphins!
This destination is only a short boat ride away. After just 30 minutes boat riding, we arrive at a mangrove maze made out of series of islands approximately 11 miles northeast of Key West. We will park our boat somewhere knee deep shallow, over a nice sandy bottom – so you can walk around and take pictures, swim or snorkel in turquoise water and sandbars.
Do you want to see some of Florida’s most beautiful beaches? If so, then the Key West National Wildlife Refuge Island is one stop that should not be missed. It has a gorgeous natural beach and is 15 miles west of Key West. On your way there, you may spot dolphins playing in the water! We can also stop at the sponge garden off one of the islands for some snorkeling. The water here is only 5 feet deep, perfect for families who are looking for an adventure without getting too deep!
The sandbar at Snipe Point is a popular destination for locals who spend their weekends boating. This island, often called “Snipes” – is extremely hard to find so boat rentals are unlikely to invade your space. You will be surrounded by locals and their families looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life on this gorgeous beach area.
Sunset Cruise in Key West! We are headed to the sandbar and beyond, our skipper will take us out for a private boat tour into the backcountry waters. Watch as we anchor over the sandbar, reaching deep enough for you to jump from just above waist high water and get some awesome pics with the sun setting behind you – it’s really something special.
This Key West Dinner Cruise is the perfect way to enjoy beautiful scenery and a fresh seafood dinner with wonderful friends or family. The whole cruise experience includes an experienced captain taking you to the best location in Key West, with him cooking while you play in shallow turquoise water. You will thoroughly enjoy this unique adventure that people never forget.
This Key West Lunch Cruise starts off by getting on a boat ride that will drift through the beautiful backcountry waters. The boat will dock at its very own sandbar location where you are free to walk around or have an enjoyable swim in clear, shallow water. After snorkeling or simply staying on the boat, we will serve you freshly made lunch!
Mud Keys Mangrove Safari will have you feeling like a world explorer in our own backyard. After getting onto the boat, we’ll take you for a 30-minute cruise of backcountry waters to Mud Key Sanctuary! Upon arriving there, enjoy nature surrounding you and take pictures while soaking up the sun. You can walk around on the sandbar and swim if you’d like or just soak in all the gorgeous sights the area has to offer.
On this Key West boat tour, you get to see not one, but several different sandbars. We’ll take only 25 minutes to go there on our epic excursion–but we’ll stop for as long as you want at those that interest you the most. All-in-all, it’s an experience unlike anything else offered here!
See the mangrove trails of Mud Keys and go mingle with locals at Snipe Point sandbar after. You will not want this day to be over.
If you are looking for some beach time on a remote island far far away – this boat trip is for you. Stop on the way for sponge garden snorkeling in just 5 feet of water. At the Boca Grande destination, you’ll take a break from your phone as you will not have any service there. Walk down the beach and enjoy looking at the beautiful turquoise colors of the water surrounding you. If you will feel like exploring further – we will take you near the neighboring islands Woman Key and Ballast Key for some more breathtaking sights.

Private boat tours are a great way to see the Florida Keys! The shallow waters can be dangerous for first timers, so it’s best if you let us do the driving! 🙂
It has a flushable marine toilet for liquids only. The boat also has fresh water rinse so you can rinse yourself from salt water.
To some extent – yes. Sometimes we will have to because the weather isn’t always ideal and we want to stay in shallow, calm waters to keep the trip enjoyable.
No. All our trips are private. Just you, your loved ones and our captain.
Absolutely. Our boat has a premium amplified 9 speaker audio system and you can play music from your phone via Bluetooth.
We have an iced cooler with bottled waters and sodas. You’re welcome to bring your own drinks, beers and snacks.
Unfortunately not. We are limited to 6 passengers per our license and each child counts as one just like adults.
Yes. We can subcontract another boat for you with another captain from a trusted vendor. We would run side by side and raft up on the sandbar so you can spend that time together.
There is always a chance for that and we often do, however we can’t promise that you’ll see them because they swim around freely and do not hang out in the same place.
We do not. We are not a fishing charter and we think that our boat is just too pretty to have smelly fish guts all over it.
48hrs before the scheduled boat trip to get a full refund if you happen to change your plans. All our trips are weather permitting so we reserve the right to cancel your trip if we don’t think that conditions are safe – in this case you would get full refund also.
There are likely to be few experiences that can rival being out on the glistening water, feeling the sun on your skin as a friendly dolphin frolics around in the calm water around you. Indeed, it is one of those vacation moments that will stay with you for a long, long time after you have returned home, unpacked your bags, and resumed normal life.
The Sunshine State, Florida, is famous as the “world’s yachting and boating capital.” From the Gulf Coast to South Florida, tons of islands across the Panhandle and the Atlantic Ocean make Florida the ideal destination for your next boating vacation.
Snorkeling enthusiasts know that there aren’t many places in the world that can compete for the best snorkeling spots with the Florida Keys. The mesmerizing turquoise waters are home to the United State’s only tropical coral reefs and the world’s third-longest barrier reef.
